Understand English
I asked lawrence how to understand English better. I think there are two ways: first, more conversation in English; second, compare the translated texts with the origin.
But lawrence tell me, read more is the best way-- read an English magzine/newspaper everyday. And you don't need translate then into Chinese, assume you can't think in Chinese is better.

Einstein Girl
Albert Einstein once told his student a story to explain what is Relativity. He declared, "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour; set with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute."
There is also a "Einstein girl" for me on the world.
I had a strange feeling that after I sit with the pretty Einstein girl for an hour, it seems like to be zero minute. I even can't make sure if she is existing on the world when she is out of my eyes. The time I stay with her is cut out of my mind because I don't believe it's true.
I told the story to Grace, a friend on MSN. She said she had the same feeling when she was separated with her husband. But she believe he is live somewhere on the world, and can live longer than she.
I think it's about faith. I don't have the same faith with Grace, I can't make sure how long can a pretty girl survive in the bad world. But, yes, she is there, somewhere on the world.
